A boss looks for reasons to say no. A leader looks for reasons to say yes. A boss issues orders and demands loyalty. A leader gives direction and takes responsibility. A boss expects to be the most important person in the room. A leader makes everyone feel important.

Many schools are starting the hiring process- “If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.” ― Simon Sinek

Culture is revealed under pressure. Leadership is revealed under pressure. Preparation is revealed under pressure. Mindset is revealed under pressure. Values are revealed under pressure. Do the work. Prepare for the moment so that you’re prepared in the moment.

America needs more welders like Brianne. We have a shortage of 400k welders so you can make good $$ if you’re good at it. Yet the U.S. Dept of Education tilts the scales to 4-year degrees & student debt over vocational training, all the while subsidizing racial & gender

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become moral, just because it's accepted and embraced by a portion of society.

ALL learners receive Tier 1 learning. It's where we make all the needed improvement. If scores are dropping, if misbehaviors are increasing, if gaps are widening, if Tier 2 & 3 population is growing, then it's a Tier 1 learning issue. We must acknowledge, accept, & act on this

Always teaching reactively instead of proactively … let’s shift our mindset.

Leaders: Mingle before you mandate Listen before you lead Interact before you implement Connect before you comment Feel before you fix Know before you notate Ask before you act Belong before you begin Relate before you resolve It's not about you, it's about others.

“An excessive drive for order interrupts the beautiful chaos needed for creativity to thrive.” Simon Sinek Sometimes it’s the unscripted moments or when things don’t go as planned, something even more wonderful is born!

Tier 1 ! Tier 1! Tier 1!

One of the biggest problems among our children is illiteracy. But here’s the good news… it’s solvable. Current practices in many schools genuinely confuse me because we aren’t solving the problem..We’re just putting more and more useless technology in front of kids.

Put a teacher in front of these kids with the autonomy to actually teach and watch what happens!

We rocked our crayon shirts for Storybook Character Day! #CochranAcademy #BeGreatByChoice

A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves.

Really challenging to continue in such a broken system…
